Hi Victor, I gradually worked my way through the custom display tutorial successfully The only snag was with FormidablePro and WordPress updating things so that the build stopped displaying the insert panel until the updates were applied. I’m also glad I have done a bit of PHP programming as that knowledge was needed. All in all though, I’m glad you have added a useful perspective on building custom display panels.
